ChromiumOS64 is an unofficial port of the original Google’s Chromium OS project (when officially released in 2010, it will be called Google Chrome OS) to the x86_64 64-bit architecture. The original Chromium OS project does not support 64-bit platforms. This is because the majority of the netbooks in the market are based on Intel Atom processors, which are mostly 32-bit. It is highly anticipated that Google’s Chrome OS will debut in 2010, based on the open source Chromium OS project, which is itself based on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala GNU/Linux. Ubuntu itself is derived from Debian GNU/Linux. In turn, Debian itself is derived from Linus Torvalds’ Linux kernel.
